KILEY BENSE Monday, June 04, 2018
An argument on the Kickingbird golf course in Edmond got ugly, escalating to the point that one man was sent to the hospital to receive three staples and 10 stitches in his head, according to local news reports.

It started with an argument about a single player wanting to play through a foursome. That war of words soon turned violent.

"We don't normally have assault with a dangerous weapon calls at the golf course," said Jenny Wagnon, with the Edmond Police Department.

The victim told police one member of the foursome, Eddie Aday, approached him, saying that he works there, to which the victim replied that he didn't care.

"One of the men in the foursome is a Marshall at the golf course for us," Wagnon said. "He approached the single player, they got into an argument."

The victim claims when Aday approached him again, he pushed him away and that's when the fight escalated.

"It escalated to the point that the victim was being hit in the head with a putter and the top of his head and the front of the head, and then another member of that foursome hit him from behind," said Wagnon.

Finally, another member of the foursome stepped in and broke up the fight.

Both suspects claim the victim initiated the attack but police say based on the victim's injuries and other evidence collected during their investigation, they don't believe that's true.

"The other two in the foursome were able to essentially give the same story as the victim," Wagnon said.

The two men were later charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon.

No word yet on if Aday is still allowed to Marshall at the course.

Played today in a foursome...after the ninth hole in which we played in under two hours the marshall whom had been stalking us for five holes asked us to play faster or he told us we would have to skip a hole to catch up to the twosome in front of us. I went into the clubhouse and told the pro the marshall was being unreasonable and he was trying to imtimidate us by staring at our every shot. Then things just got much worse. The pro was a complete a$$hole to me and couldn't have been a bigger jerk. He explained to me that I was going to do whatever the marshall told me. I just laughed and the pro told me to "have a nice day" at the top of his lungs as I walked out the door. That pro and that marshall are everything that is bad about golf. No wonder young people are not playing anymore and the golf demographi is shrinking.
